I went to the emergency room about 2 weeks ago with a serious infection in my hand (painful enough that it kept me awake two nights in a row).
Next time I will explore a different options. They shouldn't sit patients under IVs waiting for these over-occupied doctors
I was very impressed by everyone at the hospital, from intake, to emergency room treatment, to follow-up. I was treated as a valued patient and in a very patient-centric way.
Extremely slow and does not show urgency in the ER. Arrived at the hospital at 11pm on a Sunday night with stroke symptoms... finally ruled out stroke by 7 am. By 9:30 am Monday morning still no closer to finding out what's wrong. Have been waiting for Neurology for 3+ hours. Have yet to be admitted. Night nurses were very nice.
I have to say they are better than most in this area. I would only recommend them and Reston Hospital. It isn't always the doctors on staff, but the nursing staff is very important. It appears many hospitals are cutting costs by reducing staffing which reflects proper care. Virginia Hospital Center is still doing it right, IMHO.
Dissapointed. Doctor's take 2 days to show. Came with an infected foot injury. Emergency room was very good, fast, they did what they had to do,(x-ray, wound drainage, .....) or better
I then received two followup phone calls to see how I was doing, including one from Shelby Yates. The ER referred me to a hand surgeon for further treatment, and I am impressed with the care he gives as well.
They should not admit a patient if the doctor in the specialty is not available.
When inquiring the personnel (friendly) they always apologize, but apparently the Dr. Anderson gives arrogant responses, that he is aware and I should wait. The regular physician in charge is also not showing up.
Saved my daughter in a time of need, what else can I do but give 5 stars. Great hospital in an excellent location if you live in Arlington. They provide classes in the front area as well as their conference space for early childhood, pregnancy, delivery, etc.. wonderful facility.
Shelby Yates and Teresa Ross attended to me in the ER and I can't say enough about their manner and approach.
Then I was admitted to a room, waiting for the podiatrist to give direction on the treatment. Well 36 hours and still waiting for Dr. Anderson. All I receive are IVs with antibiotic.
